Spindles Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Charles Dance opening scene, where he was skinning the stag was one of the best character intros I've ever seen. His role was beyond doubt one of the strongest in the series. I look forward to seeing where the high sparrow is heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisskross Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 17 hours ago, ThomThomDrum said: I for one dont have a desire to see him dead (he is a brilliant watch for one; and very much not yet exposed as nearly as evil as some of the characters we have met in GOT thus far IMO), but I was for sure hoping it would all kick off last night between Mace & Jamie's gang and the Faith Militant. A brain washed Tommen and Margaery was a major anti climax. I don't believe for a second Margaery has been brainwashed.. She realised what was needed to get her and her brother to safety.

luckysalt Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've enjoyed every episode this season, I've found Sam to be annoying but when he took that sword, it was classic! Like FINALLY you're showing some balls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred quimby Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 So do we think that Emile Clark has a clause in her contract about having so many episode endings in one season. Her Westeroes facebook page must be annoying. Look here I am on a dragon, Here I am walking out of Fire, here I am being carried by slaves while they all call me Mum On this weeks the chap that rescued Bran. Did he actually light the fireball thing on Brans sledge. Watched it twice and it seemed to be that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary1979666 Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Was good to see the return of Benjen - amazed they still had the same actor from S1 Ep1. Was a bit disappointed with the Arya storyline - other than a bit of fighting and some poison training, not sure what else she got out of being with the Faceless men. Was just a let down and given the last 1 and a half seasons were her doing it, it seems a waste. I like how Dany said she needed a thousand ships to get everyone to Westeros.....the same number that Euron is building. (Saw a great meme the other day - had Euron beside a half built ship shouting "Only another 999.5 to go!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'd rather see the Night's King win than Daenerys. Her storyline is painful stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunique Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Ignore that, I couldn't delete an old post I'd accidentally quoted without posting it. One of this season's directors has suggested there are only 7 episodes next season - and rumour elsewhere there's only 13 in season 7&8 combined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I hadn't seen that but I saw one of the makers say that tonight's episode has their favourite scene in the show so far and it took a whole week to film it, so i'm expecting something epic tonight.

Spindles Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Not sure what that refers to, surely nothing from this episode. I liked Lady Mormont. I hope we get some proper action next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Well surely the highlight is that HE is back! Plus I agree Lady Mormont was fantastic. I've no idea what scene the week filming was either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that the Septun got killed, he had potential to be a good character. I liked the Blackfish, even if that whole section was a bit dull, he had some spark about him.

LondonTom Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 It was all a bit meh this week apart The Great return of he who shall not be named quite yet and Lady Mormont.. Also erm Arya should surely have died from that wee stabbing to the stomach and then fall into the river? (Also how did she get caught out, when she knows exactly what the Faceless Men (woman) are about...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomThomDrum Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) The Arya scene was just to over dramatise the confrontation she had to have and give the audience a WTF moment. There's no way she is dying yet, but they very much wanted you to think it. And it worked for a split second, but as soon as she hit the river you know she will survive irrespective of the stabbing and fall you just witnessed. She will most likely bump into a friendly face we have not seen for a bit. If she is to die at some point it will not be before she has had a chance to tie back into the main narrative one thinks As for Mormont? I was not impressed. Found it slightly cringe worthy if anything. Just was not convinced personally Great to see the Hounds return.

Now she gets stabbed in the abdomen multiple times including a rather tasty knife-twist and subsequently just wanders down the street looking forelorn at worst... Poor storytelling.

I'm not a fan of the whole coming back from the dead (or presumed dead) storytelling, but I'll make an exception for the hound! And I am also curious why the waif hates ayra so much. Is it envy about her stark background? Agreed about mormont, I cannot bear precocious kids like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I might be in the minority but I liked Lady Mormont, she was taking none of that shit. Arya's been overly transparent about her plans to leave, walking around in broad daylight, throwing money around, almost like she wanted to be found. I've got a feeling things aren't what they seem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunique Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 The script was excellent but the delivery quite wooden. I did love the interaction between her and Davos, a flash back to his connection with Shereen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
